Avon Products Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I worked for 3.5 years in this company. One of my best professional experiences."

"I worked for Avon for 15 years and in that time, the last 10 years were filled with trepidation. There were over 6 organized mass lay-offs. Management doesn't seen to know how to straighten out the issues which are causing most markets to be losing money, which is the reason for the lay-offs. I am sure there are lots of good opportunities for people looking to start out since they need inexpensive talent these days."

"Avon was a wonderful company to work for! There was plenty of room for advancement, you had the opportunity to work from home, the pay was great! Unfortunately due to outsourcing, there is not much left of Avon. When I received my end date, the company took care of very well with our severance packages as well."

"When I left, Avon was entering a period of transition and the new CEO had not started yet. My newly-hired department head had a personality disorder to put it politely, and management/HR let her bully/bulldoze 10 people I know of until we all chose to leave. She was let go around 2 yrs in. I cannot recommend this organization as an employer."
